Do you sill find it helpful seeing your new t compared to your old t, JSG?
I know they don't recommend seeing two t's but I do because they all work so differently and really some clients are not suited to each t's methods.
I feel like I have lost a mother with my old t because she played the good mother and bad mother role for me. She would punish me if I misbehaved( got worse) and if I was on my best behaviour,behaved as she would like we got on perfectly.
It had got to the stage were we just chatted as two professionals would. She treated me as if I were another t and not as a client. Granted I am training but it doesn't mean I still don't have problems or unresolved issues.
I am telling her next week via text that I need a break. I am trying not to hurt her feelings by telling her what has been happening, perhaps she already knows and thinks I will just carry on with her forever like this but we are in a recession and I feel as though I am throwing money away and not growing or developing with her.
I like my new t but I have only had one session which went very fast for me and she managed to ask me more questions than any other t has in the three years I have been seeing the other three years so maybe this is a bit fast for me. I feel exposed after seeing her and as if my privacy has been evaded. Is it normal for a therapist to ask if you have been abused in the first session?
The training I have been provided with, it certainly isn't normal. We have been thought to wait and follow the clients lead so I am a bit confused and raw.

you are right, it isn't helpful or empathetic at all and always makes me feel worse.
